    Old World Tuscan Style Furniture

    Hey all,

    Real quick as I'm off to my 5 year olds birthday at Chuck E. Cheese!

    Do you have any examples of the aformentioned style furniture? I'm looking for inspiration for a new customer.

    Thanks in advance,
    -joe

    I'm not sure what you are looking for Joe, but I've always wanted to build a set of these for outside. If done nice enough, they could be indoor furniture.

    Mike,

    Thanks for your response.

    In answer to your question - I'll be building an entertainment center and am looking for Tuscan style construction examples. I've seen some stuff in online catalogs - simple, square panel and frame construction, but I'd like to see what people use for accents and details.

    Thanks,
    -joe

    Joe,

    This magazine , COTE SUD covers the South of France, the Balearic Islands, Tuscany and Umbria... It is excellent! and a great source for ideas. You can find individual copies at better newsstands and book stores...sorry it is in French, but pictures still say a 1000 words in any tounge

    Do a google search and you should find lots of examples.

    Joe,

    These are not furniture, but they are old and Tuscan, so they might still provide enough flavor for inspiration.

    HTH,

    I guess my public must be pretty huge then.
